Bottle Tree with snail necklace I just returned from Socotra island. This is one of the first photos I edited, with many more to come. I love how these little snails created almost full cover of this little bottle tree. <br /> <br /> If someone can identify the snails, I would greatly appreciate it!

Bottle Tree with snail necklace

I just returned from Socotra island. This is one of the first photos I edited, with many more to come. I love how these little snails created almost full cover of this little bottle tree.

If someone can identify the snails, I would greatly appreciate it!

    So weird and cool!

    The snails may be from the genus Achatinelloides:

    Those snails look like a reptilian skin. Love the unique appearance it gives to an already unusual plant. Posted one year ago
